It just seemed a good percentage of them use the signs as their &quot;photo&quot;------an unusually high percentage at that! <br /><br />CamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-20254484526677848062010-01-17T20:36:36.432-05:002010-01-17T20:36:36.432-05:00Anonymous: The Scott Brown signs are the pictures ...Anonymous: The Scott Brown signs are the pictures that Facebook users have chosen for their account avatars. It&#39;s no different than someone wearing a Scott Brown or Martha Coakley pin on their lapel when they enter church. It would be a stretch to consider than an endorsement by the Church.Domenico Bettinellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07071658383849171304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-78605955291686043362010-01-17T19:26:51.283-05:002010-01-17T19:26:51.283-05:00I checked out the Facebook site.....I know they ca...I checked out the Facebook site.....I know they cannot edit everything but I saw a lot of Scott Brown signs there. Not a good thing to see political sign on a church Facebook page.

Are you advocating youth texting during their group activities?ConcordPastorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18322127779647130869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808375493800890797.post-63537365426816948262010-01-17T10:29:05.985-05:002010-01-17T10:29:05.985-05:00Great to see how the Archdiocese of Boston is usin...Great to see how the Archdiocese of Boston is using social media wisely and well. <br /><br />I hopped onto Twitter well over a year ago to observe, specifically, how faith-based communities and religious organizations were using it, among other social media, as a tool for catechesis and evangelization. Until recently, non-denominational evangelical Protestants have been in the forefront.<br /><br />Within the past seven months, mainstream churches have figured out the value of real-time, synchronous communications to accompany asynchronous tactics. <br /><br />Sorry to report that the Roman Catholic church is lagging behind in these efforts. The more diocese that can/will model the value of using 21st century technology, the better. <br /><br />As someone in the ministry of church communications, I look forward to the day when I do not have anyone in youth ministry proudly telling me how she &quot;makes&quot; the kids turn off their texting devices during youth group!Meredith Gouldhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16260267368064065843noreply@blogger.com
